Mirror’s Edge is a single-player first person action-adventure video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. A Windows version was released on January 16, 2009. Mirror’s Edge is powered by the Unreal Engine 3 with the addition of a new lighting solution, developed by Illuminate Labs in association with DICE.

Faith Connors is a runner, a person used to transport confidential items and information through the city while evading government surveillance. The game’s story follows Faith and her struggle to free her sister, who was framed for a murder, from a corrupt government. Her parents were killed while protesting against the government and she was forced to grow up on the street, later becoming a runner. As Faith attempts to rescue her sister, while running messages for the criminal underworld, she gets caught up in a series of events which lead to her being pursued by the totalitarian government.

The game has a realistic, brightly coloured style and differs from most other first-person perspective video games in allowing for a wider range of actions—such as sliding under barriers, tumbling, wall-running, and shimmying across ledges—and greater freedom of movement, in having no heads-up display, and in allowing the legs, arms, and torso of the character to be visible on-screen. Mirror’s Edge is set in a society where communication is heavily monitored by a totalitarian regime, and so a network of runners, including the main character, Faith, are used to transmit messages while evading government surveillance. In the style of a three-dimensional platform game, the player guides Faith over rooftops, across walls, and through ventilation shafts, negotiating obstacles in parkour fashion.

This is the first time a game has won the POTW twice….the reason being, the CXZ port was flawed, in a major way. As in the mouse didn’t really work, at al, on both levels. Well now it does and it it is truly deserved of the POTW. Not only because it works 100%, but because of the amount of the work that has been done to get this game to work. Pluto999 we salute you!
